HTC’s Vive VR headset will use WiGig to ditch its cumbersome cables

A prototype of the new headset was unveiled and demonstrated at Computex in Taipei on Tuesday during a keynote by Intel, which said it’s working closely with HTC to realize the system.

The wireless HTC Vive looked similar to today’s cabled model with the addition of a box of electronics worn on the head of the user. Intel didn’t provide any details about the system, but that’s presumably where the electronics and radios are fitted to make wireless VR possible.
